Over the last decade a spate of issues has been emerging in empirical research spanning diverse fields such as biology, medicine, economics, and psychological science. The crisis has already led to fundamental shifts in how research is being conducted in several fields, particularly psychological science. Broadly labelled the ‘replication crisis’, these issues place substantial doubt on the robustness of peer-reviewed quantitative research across many disciplines. In this editorial, we will delve into the replication crisis and what it means for educational technology research. We will address two key areas, describing the extent to which the replication crisis applies to educational technology research and suggestions for responses by our community.

开放科学与教育技术研究

在过去的十年中，跨越生物学、医学、经济学和心理科学等不同领域的实证研究中出现了一系列问题。这场危机已经导致多个领域的研究方式发生根本性转变，尤其是心理科学。这些问题被广泛称为“复制危机”，对跨学科同行评议的定量研究的稳健性提出了重大质疑。在这篇社论中，我们将深入探讨复制危机及其对教育技术研究的意义。我们将讨论两个关键领域，描述复制危机在多大程度上适用于教育技术研究以及我们社区的应对建议。
